FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , A RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, owner and director of Fabre Montmayou, was born in Bordeaux, France, to a family of wine negociants. When he arrived in Argentina in the early 90’s looking for opportunities to invest in vineyards and start a winery, he was impressed by the potential for Malbec in Mendoza. As a true visionary, he bought very old Malbec vineyards, planted in 1908, and built the Fabre Montmayou winery in the purest Château style from Bordeaux. The winery was built in Vistalba – Lujan de Cuyo, 18 Km North of Mendoza city at 3800 feet elevation (1,150 meters of altitude), and is surrounded by the first 37 acres of Malbec vineyards that the company bought. For the Fabre Montmayou line of wines, the owners decided to buy exclusively old-vine vineyards in the best wine growing areas of Mendoza. With constant care and personal style – essential elements for great quality – Fabre Montmayou combines modern winemaking, Mendoza’s terroir and the Bordeaux “savoir faire” to produce wines of unique personality. MENDOZA, ARGENTINA Mendoza Province is one of Argentina's most important wine regions, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the country's entire wine production. Located in the eastern foothills of the Andes, in the shadow of Mount Aconcagua, vineyards are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world, with the average site located 600–1,100 metres (2,000–3,600 ft) above sea level. The principal wine producing areas fall into two main departments Maipúand Luján, which includes Argentina's first delineated appellation established in 1993 in Luján de Cuyo. The pink- skinned grapes of Criolla Grande and Cereza account for more than a quarter of all plantings but Malbec is the region's most important planting, followed closely by Cabernet Sauvinon, Tempranillo and Chardonnay. Mendoza is considered the heart of the winemaking industry in Argentina with the vast majority of large wineries located in the provincial capital of Mendoza. “The more you know about wine, the more you’ll want to know about us.” www.ahdvintners.com; (586) 552-1414 .

The deformation shows variations in structural style and shortening along and across the strike of the orogen, as a result of the dynamics of the subduction system and the features of the upper plate. In this work, we analyse the development of thin-skinned and thick-skinned fold and thrust belts in the Southern Central Andes (30–36° S). The pre-Andean history of the area determined the formation of different basement domains with distinct lithological compositions, as a result of terrane accretions during Palaeozoic time, the development of a widespread Permo-Triassic magmatic province and long-lasting arc activity. Basin development during Palaeozoic and Mesozoic times produced thick sedimentary successions in different parts of the study area. Based on estimations of strength for the different basement and sedimentary rocks, calculated using geophysical estimates of rock physical properties, we propose that the contrast in strength between basement and cover is the main control on structural style (thin- v.

Reviving Criolla
GRAPES Full circle: reviving Criolla The oldest grape varieties in South America have been sidelined for the past hundred years, but a new generation is now reclaiming its lost winemaking heritage as Criolla varieties re-emerge from the shadows. Amanda Barnes has the inside story WHEN THE SPANISH first conquered the Americas in the 1500s, they brought the holy trinity of cultivars – olive trees, wheat and grapevines. Whether planted as sticks or seeds, the first grapes to grow were known as the Criolla, or Mission, varieties: a select handful of varieties picked for their high- yielding and resilient nature, and destined to Above: manual harvest conquer the New World.

Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers
Journal of Wine Economics, Volume 14, Number 4, 2019, Pages 343–355 doi:10.1017/jwe.2019.29 Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers German Puga a, James Fogarty b, Atakelty Hailu c and Alejandro Gennari d Abstract Mendoza is the main wine-producing province of Argentina, and the government is currently implementing a range of policies that seek to improve grape grower profitability, including a vineyard replanting program. This study uses a dataset of all grape sales recorded in Mendoza from 2007 to 2018, totaling 90,910 observations, to investigate the determinants of grape prices. Key findings include: smaller volume transactions receive lower-average prices per kilo- gram sold; the discount for cash payments is higher in less-profitable regions; and the effect of wine stock levels on prices is substantial for all varieties. Long-run predicted prices are also estimated for each variety, and region; and these results suggest that policymakers should review some of the varieties currently used in the vineyard replanting program. (JEL Classifications: Q12, Q13, Q18) Keywords: autoregressive distributed lag, grape price, hedonic price, Mendoza. I. Introduction Accounting for 71% of total Argentinean grape production, Mendoza is the main wine province of Argentina. Argentina is the fifth-largest wine producer in the world (Anderson, Nelgen, and Pinilla, 2017;OIV,2018). Mendoza is a wine-producing region of international importance and in 2017 the estimated value of wine grape The authors thank an anonymous referee and the editorial team at JWE (especially Karl Storchmann) for their comments and assistance in progressing this paper to its final version.

Argentina's Booming Vineyards
May 16, 2009 THE NEW CONQUISTADORS: ARGENTINA'S BOOMING VINEYARDS For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Foreign investors are queueing up for a share of Argentina's booming vineyards. By Gideon Long How many people, at some point, have idly dreamt of owning a vineyard and producing their own wine? Somewhere in Tuscany or La Rioja perhaps, somewhere sun-kissed and picturesque. For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Mendoza, in the far west of the country, where the flat expanse of the pampas rises abruptly into the Andes, has long been the centre of the Argentine wine industry. Until recently, it produced cheap plonk for local consumption, but it is fast emerging as a major wine region to rival the best that Europe can offer. Its signature malbecs are finding their way to the world's finest restaurant tables and, in Mendoza itself, boutique vineyards and designer tasting-rooms are all the rage. Foreigners are buying into the boom. An acre of land here costs a fraction of the price you would pay in the Loire Valley or around Bordeaux, and there's plenty of it. Nigel Cooper is a Briton who recently bought 10 acres in the Uco Valley, a sublimely beautiful area some 40 miles south of Mendoza city.

1 Strategies for Regional Tourism Development in Argentina. a Path with New Initiatives for Tourism Dispersal Policies
1 Strategies for Regional Tourism Development in Argentina. A Path with New Initiatives for Tourism Dispersal Policies NATALIA PORTO* AND CAROLINA INÉS GARCIA Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina Introduction With the new decade, tourism is facing many challenges. Technology development and changing patterns of behaviour, with consumers more demanding, independent and connected, have been increasing over time (Dwyer et al., 2009; Singapore Tourism Board, 2013; Dietz et al., 2019). Such a situation places tourism destinations within a difficult competitive scenario. In countries like Argentina, regarding inter- national tourism, additional challenges include its geographical position – somehow apart from the rest of the world and away from the main outbound travel markets – together with persistent uncertainty concerning social and economic matters. At the same time, tourism has been playing a key role as an income gener- ator and a source of employment, contributing to economic growth and devel- opment in many countries around the world. According to the UNWTO (World Tourism Organization, 2019a), international tourist arrivals worldwide grew by 5.4% in 2018 (versus 2017), reaching 1.4 billion that year, and there was also a positive tendency in total international expenditure, with US$1,448 billion in 2018 (versus US$1,344 billion in 2017). Moreover, the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC, 2019) indicated that one in ten jobs in the world was generated by tourism in the same year. It is worth noting that domestic tourism constitutes a powerful force in the flourishing evolution of tourism in certain re- gions: 71% of worldwide tourism spending in 2018 was explained by domestic tourism, which grew even more in developing countries (WTTC, 2019).
